l Iylng idle in the treasury seemed to avert immediate danger, our surplus revenues have continued to accumulate. the excess for the present year amounting on the first day of December to S55, ,25S, 7O4, ,19, and estimated to reach the sum Of Sl43,OOO,OO0 on the 30th day of June next, al which date it is cx- pected this sum, added to prior accumulations, will swell the sur plus in the treasury 10 S140,000.000 i There seems to be no assurance
 that with such a withdrawal from tbe nse of the peoples circulating
 medium our business community
 may not in the near future be sub- Jected to the same distress which was quite lately produced from the same cause, and while the func- tons of our national treasury should be few and simple, and while the best condition would be reached, 1 believe, by its entire dlsconnection with private busi- ness Interests, yet. when, by d per version of its purposes, it idly holds the money uSelessly sub tracted from the channels of trade, there seems 10 be no reason for the claim, and some legitimate means should be devised by the government to restore in au emer- 1ency, without waste, such money to its place among the people.
 If such all emergency arises, there now exists no clear and un- doubted executive power of relief. Heretofore the redemption of three per cent. bonds, which were payable at the option of the gov ernment, has afforded means for disbursement of excess of our rev cnues but these bonds have all been retired, and there are no bonds outstanding the payment of which we have a right to insist upon. The contribution to the sinking fund, which furnishes the occasion for expenditure In the purchase of bonds, has been al- ready made for the current year, so there is no outlet in that direc- tlon. In the present state of leg islation the only pretense of any executive power to restore at this time any part of our surplus rev. enues to the people by its expend- iture consists Of the supposition that the Secretary of the Treasury may enter the market and pur- chase the bonds of the govern ment not yet due at rate of pre- mium 10 be agreed upon.

The Present Monetary Condition.

have deemed it my duty to thus bring to the knowledge of my country, as well as their relatives charged with the responsibility of legislative relief, the gravity of our financial situation. The faildre of Congress heretofore to provide against the dangers which it was quite evident the very nature of the difficulty must necessarily produce, caused condition of financial distress and ap- prehensioa since your last ad- journment which taxed to the ut most all the authority and eXpedi- dlentS within executive cOnlrOl l, and these appear now to be eX- hauSted. If disaster results from the continued inactlon of congress the responsibility must rest where
 it belongs.
 Though the situation thns far considered is fraught with danger, :, which should be fully realized, and though it presents features of wrong 10 the people, as well as peril to the country, it is but re- suit growing out of perfectly palpable and apparent cause, con- stantly producing the same alarm ing circumstances congested national treasury and depleted monetary condition in the business of the country. It need hardly be stated. while the present situation demands remedy, we can only be saved from a like predicament in future by the removal of it's cause.
 Our scheme of taxation, by means of which the needless surplus is taken from the people and put in the public treasury, consists of a tariff or duty levied on impOrta- tations from abroad and internal revenue taxes levied upon the the consumption of tobacco and spirituous and malt liquors It must be conceded that none of these things subjected to internal revenue taxation are strictly ne cessitics. There appears to be no just complaint of this taxation by consumers of these articles, and there seems to be nothing so well able to bear the burden without hardship to any portion of the people.

Introductory.
 To the Congress oI the United
 States:
 lou are confronted at the threshold of your legislative duties With a condition of the national ilhances which imperati,ely de- mands immediate and careful con. sideratiou.
 Tue amount of money annually eXaeted through the operation Of the present laws from the indus tres and necessities of the people largely exceeds the sum necessary to meet the expenses of the gov. elnment.
 When we consider that the the ory ot our institutions guarantees to every citizen the full endowment of all the fruits of his industry and enterprise, with only such deduc- ton as may be his share towards the careful and economical mann tainance of the government which protects him, it is plain that the eXacii0n of more than this is inde- fensible eXtortion and culpable bctraval of American fairness and justice. The wrong inflicted upon those who bear the burden of ma. tiOnal taxation, like other wrongs. brood of evil conse- luences. The public treasury, which should only exist as con. init. bearing the peoples tribute to its legitimate objects of expen- iiture, becomes a boarding place for money needlessly withdrawn from trade and the peoples use, hus crippling our national ener- gies, suspeuding our country's de. preventing investment n productive enterprise, threat ming financial disturbance, and inviting schemes of public plunder.

The Sinking Fund.

The annual contributions to the sinking fund during the three years above specified, amounting ing in the aggregate to Sl3S,O5S,- 32O,94, and deducted from the sur. plus, as stated, were made by call ing in for that purpose onistand. ing three per cent. bonds of the government. During the six months prior to June 30, 1887, the surplus revenue had grown so large by repeated accumulations, and it was feared the withdrawal of this great sum of money need ed by the people would so affect the business of the country, that the sum of S79,S6i, 100 of such surplus was applied to the pay ment of the principal and interest of the three per cent. bonds still outstanding, and winch were then payable at the option of the gov ernment. The precarious condi- ton of financial affairs among the people still needing relief, imme- diately after the 30th day of June, 1887. the remainder of the three per cent. bonds then outstanding, amounting, with principal and in terest to the sum of SIS, ,SS7 BOO, were called in and applied to the sinking fund contribution for the current fiscal year.
 Notwithstanding these opera tions of the treasury department, representations of distress in busl- ness circles not only continued but increased, and absolute peru seemed at hand. In these clrcum' stances the contribution t" the sinking fund for the fiscal year was at once completed by the eX- pe,,diture of $26,6S4, ,2S3.55 in the purchase of government bonds, not vet bearing foar and Tour and one-half per cent. interest, the premium paid thereon averag- ing about 24 per cent. for the ior- mev and 8 per cent. for the latter. In addition to this, the interest accruing during the current year upon the outstanding bonded in- debtcdednesS of the government was to some extent anticipated, and hanks selected as depositories of public money were permitted to .onewh what increase their deposits, While eNpedients thus employed io release to the people tue money

The reasury.

This condition of our treas ury is not altogether new, and 1t has more than once of late been sub mltted to the peoples representa- tives in Congress, who alone can apply a remedy, and yet the situa- ton still continues, with aggra- vated incidents. more than ever presaging tinaucial convulsiou and widespread disaster. It will not do to neglect this situation because its dangers are not now palably imminent and apparent. They ex- ist none the less certainly, and await the unforeseen aud uneXpect- ed occasion when suddenly they will be precipitated upon us.
 On the Both day of June, 1885, the excess of revenue over public expenditures, after complying with the annual requirement of the sinking fund. was Sl1 ,S59, 135 Sl. During the year ending June 30, 1886, such excess amounted to S49, 9,405, ,545. 20, and during the year ending June 30, 1887, it reached the sum of SJ6, ,567 ,S94.5i.

The Tariff Question.

But our present tariff laws, the vicious and illogical source of un- necessary taxation, ought to be at once revised and amended. These laws as their primary and plain ei- feet raise the price to consumers of all articles imported and subject to duty by precisely the sEm paid for such dates. Thus the amount of inc duty measures the tax paid by those who purchase for use these
 imported articles. Many of these things, however, are raised or manufactured in our own country, and the duties now levied upon foreign goods and products are called protection to these home manufacturers, because they rem der 1t possible for those of our peo. pie who are manufacturers to make these taxed articles and sell
 them tor d price eqnal to that de- manded for the imported goods that have paid custom duty, and so it happens that while comparative ly few use the imported articles millions of our people, who never use and never saw any of the for eign products, purchase and use things of the same kind made in this country and pay therefor nearly or quite the same enhanced price which the duty adds to the imported articles. Those who buy imports pay the duty charged thereon into the public treasury, but the great majority of our citl- zens who buy domestic articles of the same class pay sum at least approximately equal to this duty to the home manufacturer. This reference to the operation of our tariff law is not made by way of instruction, but in order that we may be constantly reminded of the manner in which they impose a burden upon those who consume domestic products as we'll as those who consume domestic products as well as those who consume i'm ported articles and tbus create a tax upon all our people. It is not prepared to entirely relieve the
 country of this taxation. It must be extensively continued as the source of the governments income and in a readiustment of our tariff. The interests of American labor engaged in manufacture should be carefully considered, as we'll as the preservation of our manufactu
 rers. It may be called protection, or by any other name, but relief from the hardships and dangers of our present tariff laws should be devised with especial precaution against imperiling the existence of our manufacturing interests, hut this existence should not mean a condition which without regard to public welfare or national eXi- gency, must always insure the real

Question of Purchasing Bonds.

The only provision of law from which such a power could be de- rived is found in an appropriation bill passed a number of years ago, and it is subject to the suspicion that 1t was intended as temporary and limited in it's application in- stead of conferrlng or continuing discretion and authority. No con. dltion ought to exist which would justify the grant of power to q single official upon his judgment of it's necessity to withhold from or release 10 the people, in an un- usual manner, money held in the Treasury, and thus affect at his will the financial condition of the country; and if it is deemed wise to lodge in the Secretary of the Treasury the authority in the pres. ent juncture to purchase bonds, it should be plainly vested, and pro. vided, as far as possible, with such checks and limitations as will de- fine this officials right and discre, ton, and at the same time relieve him from undue responsibility.
 In considering the question of purchasing bonds as a means of restoring to circulation the surplus money accommodating in the treas ury, it should be borne in mind that premiums must of course be paid on such purchase, that there may be d large part of these bonds held as investments which cannot be purchased at any price. and that combinations among holders who are willing to sell may reaS. onably enhance the cost of such bonds to the government. lt has been suggested that the present bonded debt might be refunded at a less rate of interest, and the diff ference between the old and new securctieS paid in cash, thns find. tug use for the surplus in the treas ury. The success of this plan, it is apparent, must depend upon the yolition of the holders of the pres, ent bonds, and it is not entirely certain that the inducement which must be offered them would result in more financial benefit 10 the government than the purchase of bonds, while the latter proposition would reduce the principal of the debt by actual payment instead of extending it.
 The proposition to deposit the money held by the government in banks throughout the country, for the use of the people, is, it seems to me, exceedingly objectionable in principle, establishing too close relationship between the govern ment treasury and the business of the country. and too extensive Il commingliug of their money--thns fostering an unnatural reliance in private business upon public funds. If this scheme should be adopted it should only be done as temporary expedient, but all urg- ent necessity. The Legislative and executive effort should generally he in the opposite direction, and should have tendency to divorce as much and as safely as can be done, the treasury department

Interesting pecision.

Under instructions Of Judge WHITE
HURST, of Maine, a jury in Portland
decided on Thursday last that MICHAEL
BURNs, who had attempted to evade
the prohibitory law by importing Ii
quors and selling them at retail in the
original packages, was guilty of main
tanning a common nuisance. Mr..
BURNS had supposed that as he i'm
ported the liquors and paid duties on
them under the United States laws, he
would be protected by the United
States Authorities in selling them in
the original packages. But he was
mistaken. The case will go up. Judge
WHITBHoUsE said {:
"Il is true that sixty years ago it was
determined by the Federal court in a
Maryland case respecting a package OF
dry goods that the right to sell in the
original package was a necessary ingre-
dent OF tho right to import, but the
question OF police regulations was not
involved in that case at all.
We quote this because for the reason
mentioned by Judge WHITEHoUsE Vir-
giDia has the right to empower her
courts to decide whether any given per-
son shall or shall not have a license to
sell liquors, whether he has offered to
pay for his license in coupons or in
money. The police question is in
volved in all such cases.

We quoted day or two ago the reso'
luton Of the recent Democratic State
Convention of Massachusetts, on the
subject of civil-service refrom. But
the Illinois Democratic Association OF
Washington, d. c., composed, ii. is to
be presumed, Of Federal oflice-holders,
has in manner reproved the Mas
sachusetts Democrats who disapprove
of the civil-service law. At the last
regular meeting of that association the
following resolution was adopted
ResOlued. That the Democratic As
sociation of the State of Illinois in the
District of Columbia recognizes the ex-
istence and binding character of all
laws while they remain upon the sta
tute-books of the Government ; that
this association further declares its adj
hesion TO said laws, including the civil
service law, and hereby pledges a sin
cere and dutiful support thereof while
the same remain upon the statute-books
OF the republic.
That resolution is a model one. II
defends the civil. service law not be
cause it is a good law, but because it il
a law. We suppose that the Democrats
of any State would be willing to do a
as much.
